BeoVision 3802

Beovision 3502 and 3802 - designed by David Lewis - were two 22" colour TV receivers whose cabinets were of a moulded synthetic material. They were elegant and practical, according to B&O's catalogue of 1979 - 80; the material was shock- and shatter-proof and fire-retardant. Dirty marks could be wiped off easily with a damp cloth.

Operation was easy and problem-free via the large, logically designed operation panels. Additionally in the 3802 model, all functions could be operated from a distance via the remote control module. Both receivers could accommodate a VCR without further technical adjustment. Beovision 3802 could also be equipped for Teletext reception. Automatic cut-off circuitry ensured the correct balance between colours without the need for regular adjustment by an engineer. High-bright picture tubes allowed for satisfactory viewing in daylight conditions. Modular chassis and low power consumption (and therefore less heat) ensured greater reliability.

Placement

Beovision 3802, like Beovision 3702, could be connected to a VCR without any technical changes being made. And with an optional accessory-kit you could link Beovision 3802 in to your hi-fi system. A second accessory kit was available to provide private listening through headphones.
